February 17, 2023 - Still bringing joy! This time with homemade chicken and wild rice soup.
December 12, 2022 - This is a full-bodied, slightly blousy chardonnay, pear-scented, fully mature. Drink soon.
September 4, 2022 - Popped and poured. This continues to over deliver just like most everything at Evesham wood. Some limes. Nice balancing cream.
July 24, 2022 - Very pale color, with a greenish tinge. Complex but muted aromas of pear, tangerine, basil, and what my daughter calls 'marshmallow.' Weightless, moderate to low acidity, with a mild citric flavor and a hint of reduction. On the second night, the wine had more substance but also a lot more bitterness, so it was less fun to drink. So, drink soon, and drink it all when you open it.
July 18, 2022 - Nice with lemon, spice, mild oak, Carmel, orange peel and sour apple. Love their Chardonnay's and this is no exception. Drink these up as not as good as the bottle last summer but solid.
June 7, 2022 - Tasted after 45 minutes of air. Medium gold color. Zesty acidity. Some apple and pear fruit. Very lively. The fruit expands on the palate and has a nice lift. This is showing no signs of ageing and has plenty of life left.
May 1, 2022 - I like this wine very much, though I am not quite so over the moon about it as most CellarTracker users. I think the aromatics are very pretty, with crunchy tree fruit and a salt water beach accent. Little to no wood evident on the nose. The flavors pick up a touch of spice along with green apple and underripe peach, and there’s a strong minerality to the finish. I do think it’s a little weak in the mid-palate, but overall it is quite enjoyable, just not enthralling.
March 25, 2022 - Okay, I screwed up. I only bought a couple of bottles of one of the best domestic Chards I've ever tasted when I had the chance. (For $36!)
Great balance between a moderate level of acidity and fruit -- pear and lemon notes, the latter becoming a little more prominent on the finish. Touch of minerality, as well.
Brilliant stuff and I wish I had more.
March 24, 2022 - Tasted after 30 minutes of air. Tangy apple and pear fruit. Rolls up nicely into some mid palate lift and floats like a cloud on the palate. Some nutmeg, kiss of oak, and a hint of mineral. The fruit here is very sweet but doesn't come across as cloying as the acid provides excellent balance. This is really starting to open after the last few minutes. Long life ahead.
November 13, 2021 - Reminiscent of a Fichet Meursault. Moderate acidity, a slight note of oxidation, restrained fruit -- pear and a hint of lemon, more pronounced mineral flavors, and a matchsticky quality. Fully ready to drink, but not attracting any attention from my dinner companions.
